This meet I'm doing push/pull only. I'm trying to focus on hammering my dead and going to the 242 weight class. I'm 235 now and don't plan on cutting weight cause I want to hit big numbers and have fun. Cutting weight for anything besides Nationals and Worlds or big meets is a waste.

Diet is cabs on the night before heavy days and on heavy days. Cardio 20 minutes after workouts. Not planning on cutting but this helps with keeping weigh down because I still need to stay under 240.

I'm definately interested in this log. How long are your workouts and are you on any kind of cycle?

Length depends on a few things: between 1 hour to 2 hours. My heavy training cycle for big meets is often 2-3 hours in the am and 1-2 hours at night in the same day.

1. How much sleep and food I got in me (I bounce at a club for extra cash and it' 5:10 am now I just got home)

2. School

3. How many people I got to spot me. ex In my shirt I do reps with 600+ so I need 3 guys to give me a hand off. Quads has a large percentage of it's members that compete in their field; powerlifting, bodybuilding, fitness, etc. So I have no problem giving pointers to another person or help spot someone else during my training sessions. Also I am easily distracted. LOL

4. If I'm "crabby"

5. Injuries

6. My gym is in the hood so if it snows no motherfucker plows shit AND there is no heat in that shit hole.

7. If there is a crew of other powerlifters then there is a rotation on who goes.

Speed pulls with the squat bar. The extra thickness helps with grip and it will never bend Which is great for teaching proper pulling position. FYI you always want to bend a deadlift bar before you pull. Thats why deadlift bars are thinner and are more pliable, want that whip. Will use one on deadlift day*

Speed pull 451 with a pro strong band stretched over it length wise and I stand on it 8x1 1 minute break between pulls.

Lance Karrabel the USPF president is a friend of mine and I train at his gym. He is in Chicago and always has the Illinois state meet. The USPF website will post it when he does. I will also post it here, it is gonna be the end of March or first week of April. Dude your in Illinois? Get your ass to Quads!

No bench day since the gym was closed for NewYears day.....fuckin stupid. You would think they would be busy with people signing up for new memberships. Any way it's a blessing in disguise since I have a cold.

Thursday-shoulders

Warm up cardio 10 minutes

Standing over head press machine thing. (I use the old school Maximus cast-iron machine cause I can slame it, use a stack instead of plates, don't have to clean it, and it's in the corner so I can be crabby/shitty. It's snowing like a mother fucker in Chicago and YES NO ONE PLOWED JACK SHIT AT MY GYM! Fuck pre-workouts that shit just pisses me off.)
